We love our little lists.
Moreover, we love other people’s littles lists. When I scroll down Pinterest and read “Quiet travel through Japan. Find less crowded spots”, or “Slow living”, or “French girl routine”, or “How to always look nice”, “15 things to do when…

Big dreams born in small paces.
Your beginning may not have been glorious. Your beginning may have seemed small, but you had a dream. The dream was big and unachievable as dreams ought to be. And you lived your life, and dreamed, and worked, and wondered…

- How far ahead can you see?
- I can see as far as that rock and beyond. - I mean how far into your future can you see? - I can see as far as finishing the school and a little beyond that. How far can…

Contemplation is a privilege.
It means you have time to sit down and think. And not just think but go deep in your thought allowing ideas and connections and metaphors float to the surface. It means you poured a cup of tea, picked up…

The name of the illustration is 'sometimes I just can't sleep'
To be fair the name inspires me more than the picture. The cookie is standing by the window, with a hot cup of something looking out on the autumn and the rain as the sunrise begins. I guess I look…

So here is what I am thinking: people constantly run into themselves.
Here is a sad motivational quote: “At the end of the year, I want to say, ‘Damn, I really believed in myself, and it worked" This is a very sad motivational quote indeed. First, the person who wished for this…

Quiet moments of reflection.
To have your eyes pulled towards sunlight. To have your cup of tea slowly cooling down, your book half-opened, and the sounds of the outside filling your spine. You think, you wonder. You pose questions that can never be answered…

Peace. Peace - that's what I want. Isn't it what everybody wants?
That's why we surround ourselves with houseplants, we listen to the sounds of rain and ocean, we like podcasts and appreciate a good book. We want peace, in our hearts we want to trust that everything is going to be…

You cannot create the perfect atmosphere for creativity.
Don't get me wrong, you can create a perfectly looking set up, take a picture of it and post it, but it shall inspire someone else. You will be still left with yourself and your questions and inadequacies to drudge…

And she dreamed and she dreamed…
The sky was piercing blue, bordering on aqua. The white clouds were shapely and mammoth. The day was so clear even the most miserable person could look up and get a little comfort. So, she, free from worry, dreamed and…

It’s not just that.
It's not just that, it is knowing that you will bring everything about. The good, the bad and what seems bad but will turn out good, and what feels good but will sour. It is all in your hands. Somehow,…

I find the suggestion on Pinterest interesting:
MAXIMIZE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY WITH A NEW DAY-PLANNING TEMPLATE. As if the absence of the right template is ever an issue. As if once you have this or that template, your productivity will suddenly increase. I think it is a beautiful…

How to procrastinate well.
Gloomy days. Not even outside. There can be sunshine beyond the pane for all I care. I am dragging my feet from the couch to the dining table. I open my laptop to write and instead watch Safiya’s video where she melts Yankee candles to make a giant one.

There is this neigbour and I.
We never met, yet we seem to be living in a unison. We wake up around the same time, take walks on the opposite sides of the lake, then head out. I don't know where he is going, I usually go to the tavern for breakfast.

How often do people enjoy what they’re supposed to?
I mean how often do you plan something that is meant to be incredibly cosy and warm and give you peace? You bring the place together and you pour that cup of coffee, and arrange the cushions, and lit the candle and…

No inspiration, just need to write.
It's a thing. It's our thing. I wonder if she feels this way. Not necessarily inspired, but just in a peaceful, sort of obligatory way. Looking at her laptop…

You know things that are supposed to mean absolutely nothing to you.
Things in passing sort of speak. They are here for a moment, not necessarily pretty, just here, simple, untidy, unimportant, like an alley you have to walk through to get to the right street. It has an iron gate that…

Love is not loud, but it sure is not apologetic.
Love has been defined by so many, and never fully perceived and dare I say - felt? Even the fringes of love make us excited. But what are we truly excited for? The feeling? The thought? The chemistry? Or are we willing to go to the depths of love when…
